Considering selling my Nintendo 64 and games

I have had the thing since launch and my most favorite games are on VC anyway.

The questions I have are how do OoT and Mario 64 work with the classic controller?

Also, how much do you think I could get for it + 12 games (will update later when i get home)

Also do you think Nintendo will release Super Smash Bros., Majora's Mask, and NFL Blitz on 64 for VC?

    Unfortunately you won't get much for your N64 + games. Each of those two games go for pennies on www.half.com and I'm sure you'll probably get at MOST 60 - 80 dollars.

    How many controllers?

    Hmm, how are the joysticks? I know that's a pretty big thing on old N64 controllers.

    Irregardless (heh, love that word), you'll probably still only get 60 - 80 dollars. I bought my N64 last year for about 60 and it came with two controllers, and about 7 games. The prices have really come down.

    So how do those games play on the Wii? With the Classic Controller I mean?

    N64 games play pretty badly with a Classic controller, in my opinion. I much prefer a Gamecube controller. It feels much more like an N64 controller reduced to two prongs.

    The n64 console won't go for a lot, maybe 30-40 on ebay. That would also depend on the color.

    As for games quite a few of the better n64 games go for 20-40 dollars a piece. Your best bet is to bundle the console/controllers with a game or two and then sell the games seperatly.

    SSB, mario kart, mario party1/2, OOT will fetch you a good chunk of change.

    How do Ocarina and Mario work with Classic Controllers?

    I recommend picking up a gamecube controller for the N64 VC games. It feels much more natural. But the classic controller feels more natural when playing SNES games though.
    You wont get shit for your N64, but if you must sell it, you probably wont miss is seeing as you can buy your favorite games on VC anyway, and they run in higher resolution!!! Oh right!

    Majoras Mask will be on VC without doubt, but who knows when. Probably when the Wii sales start to die down or people stop buying shitty VC games.
